1/5 I'm a cardiologist. I have spent twenty years watching cholesterol destroy arteries, trigger heart attacks, and kill people I care about. Today, Eli Lilly presented data that may begin to end that era. VERVE-102. A single infusion. One dose. It uses base editing to permanently turn off the PCSK9 gene in your liver. Presented today at the European Atherosclerosis Society Congress: 88% reduction in PCSK9. 62% reduction in LDL cholesterol. Sustained up to 18 months. No treatment-related serious adverse events. One infusion. Not daily pills you forget to take. Not monthly injections. One dose — and your cholesterol may stay low for the rest of your life.

The new competition isn’t Humans vs AI. It’s Humans with AI vs everyone else.



Hanging an image of a Jew with a kippah in effigy is disgusting, antisemitic and clear incitement to hatred. I appreciate that @MrLeslieRoberts the city councillor for the downtown district has reached out to the @SPVM on this & I have done the same.

It feels very futuristic to imagine a world with one-and-done therapies that lower LDL cholesterol for life, but... it might not be far off! These are new phase 1 data for Verve/Lilly's PCSK9 base editor: one single intravenous infusion reduces LDL cholesterol by as much as 60%




Pierre Poilievre says that a Conservative government led by him will pass a castle law that allows Canadians to DEFEND their homes with whatever force they deem necessary against violent home intruders. Common sense.
